Sherwin-Williams Factory Explosion: The Pun Report

Fortunately, no one was killed in an explosion at a Sherwin Williams paint factory.  That makes it a lot more acceptable to do…A PUN REPORT!!!

First, the true facts.  On Monday, there was an explosion and a fire at a Sherwin-Williams paint manufacturing and processing plant in Garland, a suburb of Dallas. One employee was injured but there were no fatalities.  It took a few hours to fully put out the fire.

Now…the Pun News.

"The Sherwin-Williams explosion gave the entire factory a shellacking."

"Many of the employees said the accident left them feeling blue. And red. And periwinkle. And egg-shell white."

"Some of the workers were trapped in the room with the red and blue. They’re all marooned in there now."

"One employee swallowed a large quantity of the paint. The doctors say he’ll be ok but he says, “I feel like I’m dyeing inside”."

"The factory manager said the accident is going to put them in the red for a while.  However, workers have been told to brush it off."

"The manager seemed to bristle at the suggestion that the plant was smooth finished. “I don’t want to gloss over what happened. Or even semi-gloss over”, the manager said.  He added, “It’s been a mixture of emulsions for all of us here”."

"Despite the accident, Sherwin-Williams says they see a bright fuchsia for their plant. In fact, they expect to be back in the pink in no time."

"There’s no lead on suspects but one investigator said the factory explosion, quote “looks like the work of a man named Jackson Pollock”.  Foul  play isn’t suspected, but the whole situation looks very shady. Oh, the HUE…manity!"

"In the aftermath of the Sherwin-Williams explosion, the clean-up crew says their work is “very boring”. In fact, they say it’s like watching paint dry."
